Perpetual Bliss!

~ lostinpaper ~ 7 Comments

Is everyone back on track since the New Year?  Me? I’ve hardly had time to make a card…  lots of ‘big’ birthday’s happening around me and lots of celebrating happening.   So whilst everything is on hold here I thought I would share a publication for a stamper’s challenge that I made for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft magazine using this fab ‘Perpetual Bliss’ set from Paper Smooches.

Welcome back it’s time for my last DT member challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch and this week our sketch is from Karolyn!

It’s always sad to say goodbye and this one is particularly difficult as this has become one of my all time fave challenges and who would’ve ever thought that a ‘sketch’ challenge would embrace me like this one has, I was totally a ‘colour challenge’ girl when Jackie lured me in…  Thank you so much for including me in what has to be the most exceptional and hard working team.  You ALL have consistently inspired me to work and push myself that little bit harder.  Hugs to you all and keep up the amazing work.  Now…  with all my ‘spare’ time I hope to have time to join in the challenge fun lol, although originally I think I was planning to spend some more QT with my sweet supportive hubby.

Cupcake Bouquet – Craft Dash #24 (Video)

~ lostinpaper ~ 13 Comments

Hiya, I’m back and have finally had a chance to make a ‘card for fun’.   Things have been so hectic around here that it’s nice to find a few spare minutes and share in one of my fave challenges at the Craft Dash and with such a sweet colour mix I really couldn’t resist.  I’ve been filming a few tutorials in the past couple of days so I thought it was just as easy to film whilst I was creating…  but be warned it took me nearly the whole 10 minutes lol.  Hugs

Here is a card that I was lucky enough to have published.   I stamped my own tartan background for a multi – coloured stamping feature for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine, I just love this technique!

Hope you have a great week planned, I’m playing catch up with a few DT cards which of course I will share with you very soon.  Hugs,

Nearly a ‘Craft Dash’…

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

Hey there I’m back today with a quick card. I’m so happy because I finally had a chance to use a Jessi original crocheted mat and I tell you they are the sweetest, you can buy them at her amazing BLOG and if you haven’t met her yet I suggest you pop on over she is truly wonderful!

Another Craft Dash card and I was a little too ambitious today, although in my defense I would have made it in the time frame except that my Versamarker decided to die right in the middle of colouring my stroller…  panic stations (lol) what will I do….  so I diluted my new tumbled glass distress marker and painted a light covering….. but by then I was too late, but I thought I would share anyway.    I would also like to share this card with the Simon Says Stamp challenge which is Transport.  Not your normal form of transport, but it does have wheels.

With Sympathy.

I was so excited to see the colours for the 10 minute Craft Dash, I had so many ideas that I really hope that I can get to play again.  I thought these colours were perfect for a floral card, so I just went with it.

Are you seeing triple Freckles? It’s a video comparing Copics. Inktense & Prismacolor Pencils.

~ lostinpaper ~ 28 Comments

I have been toying around with this idea for a while and finally had a chance to put together a video comparing one image coloured with Copics, Prismacolor Pencils and Inktense Pencils.  I decided to keep the colours very similar so that it would be easier to compare.  Here’s the result.

Hey Dude, it’s a Dash!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

Hiya, I’m back with another video  for the 10 minute Craft Dash, the colours this week were built for a boy  so I just went with it.  I thought that it would also be great to join CAS-ual Fridays with their Colour Blocks Challenge, obviously with the time constraints I did keep it CAS lol.  My grand total was 8:59 seconds, yaaaaaay, thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hiya I’m back with a quick share.  This is a card that I made for the Camera Craze Challenge in the Moxie Fab World and I combined it with the new fun Cool Shades Sparks Challenge with Paper Smooches, what a gorgeous combo, it feels real retro to me!

 But first I’ve got a quick video that I want to share with you on how I have decided to store my dies.
